Lotus Aquarium in Lawndale. . There are a lot of shops in Southern California that carry Mr. Aqua tanks. CK Fish in West Covina usually has the 12L in stock. You could always check with MarineDepot.com if you want it shipped (they can also do will call pickup if you call them)

Lotus stocks multiple sizes of the Mr Aqua tanks, and he's into the nanos himself. Last time, he said he had one in stock even when I didn't see it on display. I'm sure he will help you get one if he doesn't though

Also white clouds need COLD WATER 53-71f, bettas 78-82f they are NOT compatible. Keeping white clouds in warmer waters reduces their lifespans.

They were sold as narrow leaf pygmy chain swords.. but then the idot seller who I bought them from also sold E. grisebachii (gets to 24") as Echinodorus Parviflorus 'tropica' (stays 2-6").. so who knows what they really are....They can get to 6" i think, tank is 8" tall with 2" substrate they they could be the right plant?

Glass is dirty so excuse the bad pics. I had to put a couple of the rocks on the wood to hold it down until it gets water logged.

It was really an impulse buy for me. One of the LFSs has one set up that I look at every time I go in. Couple of weeks ago I went in and saw the betta and walked out with both the fish and the tank!
